| New imaging method reveals causes of cerebral oedema Posted: 31 Jan 2022 08:05 AM PST Cerebral oedema is a dangerous complication in many brain-related conditions such as strokes. Researchers have now developed a new measurement method that enables a better understanding of the cellular causes of cerebral oedema. According to a new study, the TRPV4 ion channel in particular plays an important role. |
| Depression and anxiety spiked in pregnant women during COVID-19 pandemic, research shows Posted: 31 Jan 2022 08:04 AM PST The COVID-19 pandemic caused a spike in depression and anxiety in expectant mums, a new study has revealed. There was an increase in reported depression rates of 30 per cent from pre-pandemic levels, from 17 per cent to 47 per cent -- with anxiety rates also jumping up 37 per cent in expecting mothers to 60 per cent. |
| 'Traveling' nature of brain waves may help working memory work Posted: 31 Jan 2022 08:04 AM PST The act of holding information in mind is accompanied by coordination of rotating brain waves in the prefrontal cortex, a phenomenon which might confer specific advantages, a new study suggests. |
| Activated protein C can protect against age-related cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury Posted: 31 Jan 2022 07:08 AM PST A preclinical study offers molecular insight into how activated protein C (APC) may improve the tolerance of aging hearts to reperfusion injury -- a potentially adverse effect of treatment for ischemic heart disease |
| To keep or not to keep those New Year’s resolutions? Posted: 31 Jan 2022 05:38 AM PST New research suggests that people may not always want help with sticking to their New Year's resolutions. Individuals often make resolutions in January to maintain healthy lifestyle regimes - for example to eat better or exercise more often - then fail to keep them. Behavioural scientists frequently interpret such behaviour as evidence of a conflict between two 'selves' of a person -- a Planner (in charge of self-control) and a Doer (who responds spontaneously to the temptations of the moment). A team of researchers from the Universities of East Anglia (UEA), Warwick, Cardiff and Lancaster in the UK and Passau in Germany investigated how far people identify with their Planners and their Doers. |
